A tearful Robert Smith could hardly express Sunday how much his first Denny’s PBA Tour title in almost four years meant to him. Smith captured his seventh career title and his first since 2004, defeating a pesky Brad Angelo, 223-205, to win the 2007 CLR Windy City Classic.

After a huge win over Pete Weber in the position round at Hawthorn Lanes Friday night, Robert Smith was satisfied with the thought of being the No. 3 seed for Sunday’s championship round in the Denny’s PBA Tour’s CLR Windy City Classic.

Lennie Boresch Jr. led a record-tying group of 12 qualifiers into Thursday’s Round of 64 in the 2007 CLR Windy City Classic at Hawthorn Lanes, leading Wednesday’s Denny’s PBA Tour Qualifying Round with a 1,678 seven-game pinfall.
